This course explores an organisation’s ‘Green’ strategy as it relates to the effective use of energy
through the IT power chain: from software, to ICT systems and its support infrastructure (mechanical
and electrical systems) within the data center. It will assist data center professionals in identifying and implementing measures to improve the energy efficiency of their existing infrastructure as well as the selection of future technologies and services.
The course is not intended to teach an individual to be able to optimise all aspects of a data center without the assistance of technology area experts, however will allow them to direct such experts to achieve overall efficiency and cost improvements.
Individuals completing this course will have been given the necesary instruction to sit the ISEB Intermediate Certificate in EU Code of Conduct on Data Centers examination (extra exam fees apply).
